1 General safety instructions
The system was developed and designed by the generally accepted rules of
technology.
• Safety and warning instructions serve as occupational safety and accident
prevention. They must be observed.
• Beside the advice given in this short guide, the general safety and accident
prevention regulations (in Germany, among others UVV BGV A3, TRBS 2131
and BGR 500 Chapter 2.26 (previously VGB 15): "Welding, cutting and allied
processes" and particularly the conditions for arc welding and cutting
contained therein or the corresponding national regulations) must be
observed.
• Also observe the safety information signs on the factory floor of the operator.
• All safety instructions and warnings as well as the nameplate on / near the
system must be kept legible.
• Safety equipment must never be dismantled or put out of operation as this will
result in dangerous hazards and the intended use of the system is no longer
guaranteed. The dismantling of safety devices for equipping, repairing and
maintenance is described in detail. The safety devices must be refitted
immediately on completion of such work.
• Changes to the system or the mounting or incorporation of additional
equipment as well as the decommissioning of safety devices are not
permitted. Doing so will invalidate any warranty and liability claims.
• When using external aids and agents (for example, solvents for cleaning) the
user of the system is responsible for ensuring the safety of the unit.
• REHM welding systems are, except when this is expressly stated in writing by
REHM, only for sale to commercial / industrial users and are only intended to
be used by commercial / industrial users.
